A woman and her 10-year-old daughter who were found dead in a home appear to have been killed by a knife, WPBF 25 News has learned.

Pam Brooks and her daughter, Alex Brooks, were found dead in their home on Gregory Place in West Palm Beach late Thursday night. Investigators kept reporters at bay throughout the day Friday, revealing few details about the identities of the victims and how they died.

But a West Palm Beach police report released Saturday confirmed that the two suffered multiple stab wounds. It's still not clear if it was a murder-suicide or if a killer is at large.

Investigators said Bradley Brooks, the ex-husband of Pam Brooks and father of Alex Brooks, came to pick up his daughter for their weekly visitation Thursday night. He called 911 when he couldn't reach anyone inside the home, police said.

Officers arrived a short time later and discovered their bodies.

The Brookses divorced before she was arrested on a DUI charge in May of this year. Alex Brooks was an elementary-school student at The King's Academy in West Palm Beach.
